In just about four hours, the all stars from South Shore Little League will take the field in South Williamsport, Pa, in the U.S. semifinal against Texas for a shot to play in the United States title game at the Little League World Series on Saturday. Angelo Navetta will be on the hill for SSN against McAllister Park American LL of San Antonio in the nationally televised game.

(Interestingly enough, the Yankees are also playing a team from Texas tonight: the Rangers.)

So, we all know that the game will be broadcast on ESPN (Ch. 28) and on ESPN Radio (1050 AM), but the bigger question is where to go to watch the game.

We're aware of a couple of places that are hosting viewing parties for tonight's game and wanted to share them with you.

Bernie Augustine, our Web sports guru here at the Advance, told us an interesting story on Tuesday about his flight from Orlando to Newark on Monday evening.

A typically quiet flight was disrupted a little after 8 p.m. when a pocket of the plane erupted into applause. When he looked up he realized that big section of the plane was watching the game, and the SSN faithful were cheering after Anthony Scotti's RBI double in the first inning.

SSN was leading 2-0 when the plane unloaded on the tarmac, and by the time fans got home the nailbiter had turned into a blowout, as homers by Angelo Navetta and Vincent Quinn put the Tottenville loop up for good.
